The prosecco was lovely too and in keeping with the desert theme, we weren't over watered. 😄"},{"name":"Alison","reviewValue":10,"createdAt":"2018-11-07T11:22:30.613Z","reviewTxt":"Great workshop and great location!

Professional, relaxed and fun! Welcomed with a glass of fizz, I was soon put at ease by the lovely workshop leader from Grace and Thorn. The demonstration was simple and helpful, and there was a great variety of materials to use to create a unique terrarium. So pleased with the result!

I had my flower arranging Worksop just yesterday evening with Kack and loved it! Jack was warm and welcoming and took his time with all of us who needed a little bit of help. I would recommend this workshop to anyone who loves flowers and would like a taster session into the wonderful world of floral arrangements!

What a brilliant workshop! Learnt such a lot
